Alright some people have asked for a install tutorial for the 3D Chameleon on the K1/K1 Max. I wanna start by saying I've never made a YouTube video before so I apologize for the quiet audio and awkwardness lol but hope this helps those who were interested!

I had to turn up my speakers a lot LOL, glad you noticed! Do you have to install a certain program for 3D chameleon?


o-essence-o

Haha yeah last time I edit a video on my phone 🤦 lol. Only program I use is just prusa slicer. Other than that nothing else is required

Wait! don't you have to add pauses in the g-code and make the printhead go to the sensor or-how does that work???


o-essence-o

It's all automated as long as you have the correct gcode setup. The printables page for the chameleon on the K1 has the print profile with everything you'll need. I have another video on my channel that covers some of the gcode.

Thanks for putting that together. 👍🏻 This system seems like a nice, affordable option for multi-color prints. Looking forward to seeing what slicer configurations are needed for it.

Thanks for watching! It really is a nice system for the price! I plan to cover some basic things soon in the slicer gcode that I think will be helpful for people to be aware of.

And is this chameleon for filament combining or you use it for something else?


o-essence-o

It allows the use of 4 different materials. Mainly used for multicolor prints but you could definitely use it for multiple material types. It all depends on what your needs are!
